Nosy, nosy, nosy.........


The principle that it is okay to know everyone's business and have the right to judge them is disturbing. One of the stated reasons that families disown their relatives, is because they are so worried what the community will say about them.

You can not walk down the street without being harassed. You can not get a job without dressing the government approved way. You can not go home to recover from surgery, because the neighbors demand to know the personal details. You can not be single since the only acceptable form of life is married with children.

This movie is a perfect example of why these theocracy regimes are so mentally damaging. It gives an open forum for bullies to behave like animals. It allows self righteous weak minded people to pass moral judgments on strangers. There is power in the hands of the worst kind of ignorance. It is not a true religion if you are not free to not follow its laws.
